A self-propelled air defense system 9K35 Strela-10 overturned in the Ukrainian city Konotop. The incident occurred after a military parade to mark 357 years since Ukrainian Cossacks won in the battle of Konotop.

Fortunately, no one was killed or wounded in the accident, and 9K35 Strela-10 was sent back to a military base in Chernigov.

According to reports, the reason of the incident was the machine operator’s mistake that was made when he was driving the vehicle on the platform of the tow car for transportation. It is yet unclear whether there were missiles in the launch barrel, but the ammunition did not detonate when the system fell on the ground.
